Our ego-driven society encourages us to seek power and enjoy being the centre of attention.<br /><br />But our ten stage life emphasises other values. The Ten Stages tell us to give up the spotlight, loosen our grip, get out of the way, renounce, relinquish, and surrender. Freedom, the wisdom traditions all say, comes from letting go. By giving, releasing, and clearing out things, we open up a new pathways for the child withins energies to enter and transform us.<br /><br />It takes practice to change our habitual ways and to go against the conventional assumptions of society. Traditional Recovery programs say that it takes three weeks to break a habit or establish a new practice. So this program consists of the building blocks of mindfulness with an introduction to the golden nuggets of loving-kindfulness firstly to self and then to others and related child within exercises to help you practice letting go.<br /></span><br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. www.thetenstages.com
